What is this?

We select, you rate. Scores are on a 20-point scale, and they're assigned by our members who actually stayed there. If a hotel's rating falls below 16, it's gone — so your post-stay review is actually our most important quality-control tool. Thanks for that.

6 Columbus, the Upper West Side sister to downtown’s successful SIXTY SoHo, is the rare sequel that might just eclipse the original, helped in no small part by its location — it’s a prestigious one, right on Columbus Circle, next to the Time Warner Center retail-and-dining development and at the southwest corner of Central Park.

Designer Steven Sclaroff’s inspiration was Sixties modernism, but beyond some touches of fur and leather in the lobby, any Austin Powers–esque kitsch is studiously avoided. The 6 Columbus Hotel is stylish, in a somewhat serious vein, never stuffy, but always impeccably composed. The rooms aren’t huge — this is still New York, after all — but they’re well-equipped with all the luxe-boutique must-haves (flat-screen TV, iPod docking stereo) and some thoughtful extras as well (Dean & DeLuca snacks in the minibar, high-end Ren toiletries in the bathrooms).

Service is quite a bit friendlier than you might expect from such a fine-looking hotel, and while the amenities aren’t quite on the luxury-hotel level, neither are the rates. Anyway the absolute necessities are accounted for: the Blue Ribbon is both a sushi restaurant and a swanky wood-paneled cocktail bar, and Above 6, the rooftop bar and lounge, comes complete with views of the park.

Rating: Good

What I liked:

Great service by the bellmen/doormen especially Peter who had a smile, advice, and something nice to say every time we saw him. Decor was as sophisticated as expected. The superior queen room was small, but fine for NYC standards. The amenities were great when they were provided. We didn't try the blue ribbon, but it seemed lively, but not overly so most nights.

What the hotel could do better:

Improve friendliness of front desk upon arrival and throughout the stay. Housekeeping needs to be more consistent in providing the amenities that were promised such as the morning paper and turndown service.

Rating: Fair

What I liked:

The room that I was given for the 2nd night (after a screw up and a bad room on the 1st) was good - light and with a small balcony

What the hotel could do better:

I had requested a specific and non smoking room (the norm these days) and when I arrived they gave me a different, smoking room - it was tiny and dark (they claimed it was an upgrade, which is not possible). After I went downstairs to change room, they did use an ion machine to clear the air and moved my stuff to a better room for the 2nd night. The staff were apologetic.
